Yes, it gets everywhere. Yes, it’s impossible to get rid of. But we can’t help loving it.

So naturally, if you add it to a hair trend, we’re going to be into it.

Enter glitterage, a new technique created by Danielle Wade of Asteria Salon, that involves painting glitter on to the hair in a balayage (that’s a hair colouring technique in which colour is painted on by hand) in a balayage style.

No, it’s not permanent (we’re still waiting on technology to come up with a way to make your hair sparkle longterm) and it’s not practical, but it sure is pretty.

Danielle used Major Moonshine glitter gel to create the look, selecting sections of the hair to slather in glitter, while the rest of the client’s hair had been dyed blue with Pravana dye.

‘The Glitterage will shampoo out of your hair,’ Danielle told Allure. ‘However, it IS glitter, so prepared to have it sparkle-ify your life. I recommend brushing some of it prior to washing to avoid it all going down the drain.’
